Freedom '90
I won't let you downI will not give you upGotta have some faith in the soundIt's the one good thing that I've gotI won't let you downSo please don't give me upBecause I would really, really love to stick around
Heaven knows I was just a young boyDidn't know what I wanted to beI was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joyAnd I guess it was enough for meTo win the race? A prettier face!Brand new clothes and a big fat placeOn your rock and roll TVBut today the way I play the game is not the sameNo wayThink I'm gonna get me some happy
I think there's something you should knowI think it's time I told you soThere's something deep inside of meThere's someone else I've got to beTake back your picture in a frameTake back your singing in the rainI just hope you understandSometimes the clothes do not make the man
All we have to do nowIs take these lies and make them true somehowAll we have to seeIs that I don't belong to youAnd you don't belong to meFreedomYou've gotta give for what you takeFreedomYou've gotta give for what you take
Heaven knows we sure had some fun boyWhat a kick just a buddy and meWe had every big shot good-time band on the run boyWe were living in a fantasyWe won the raceGot out of the placeI went back home got a brand new faceFor the boys on MTVBut today the way I play the game has got to changeOh yeahNow I'm gonna get myself happy
I think there's something you should knowI think it's time I stopped the showThere's something deep inside of meThere's someone I forgot to beTake back your picture in a frameDon't think that I'll be back againI just hope you understandSometimes the clothes do not make the man
All we have to do nowIs take these lies and make them true somehowAll we have to seeIs that I don't belong to youAnd you don't belong to meFreedomYou've gotta give for what you takeFreedomYou've gotta give for what you take
Well it looks like the road to heavenBut it feels like the road to hellWhen I knew which side my bread was butteredI took the knife as wellPosing for another pictureEverybody's got to sellBut when you shake your assThey notice fastAnd some mistakes were built to last
That's what you get
I say that's what you get
That's what you get for changing your mind
And after all this timeI just hope you understandSometimes the clothesDo not make the man
I'll hold on to my freedomMay not be what you want from meJust the way it's got to beLose the face nowI've got to live
